Benefits of technology

[0009]Still even further, an object of the present invention is to provide a method and a system for a real-time sharing a browser which require less data volume for sharing a browser and allow a good response even on a narrow band width as in an end user environment such as a home.
[0014]By configuring them in such a manner, sharing of a real-time Web browser becomes possible since a facility for page sharing can be embedded in an existing HTML page between an existing Web server and a browser without changing its original structure.

Problems solved by technology

There was also a problem of having to install it on each individual platform since it relies on a browser-running OS or a window system.

Embodiment Construction

[0023]The operation of a browser sharing system is explained in detail below based on operation inside a browser in FIG. 3.

[0024]1. Start of a NodeManager

[0025]A NodeManager is loaded into a new browser window as it is opened when a customer has logged in on a page which is a start of sharing or by pressing a start of sharing button. This window exists, if seen from a user, independently from a window to be shared and is not closed during a sharing session. In this window, a user interface for switching a remote pointer and a normal mode, etc. are displayed. A socket of Java is placed between this NodeManager and a CommunicationManager that is component of a server so that the shared data may be exchanged among plural user machines. In addition, shared memory is allocated as a class variable of a NodeManager applet. In this, a queue of a message with a PageManager is organized.

[0026]2. Embedding in a Shared Page of a PageManager A PageManager comprises PageController consisting a sc...

Abstract

A method and system for sharing a browser. A collaboration server is provided for accumulating pages to be shared from a Web server retaining original pages. The collaboration server comprises a CachinManager that accumulates pages for sharing, a CommunicationManager that controls sessions among NodeManagers controlling a browser on each user machine, and an Embedder that embeds in each page a PageManager for controlling pages. The plural user machines to be shared comprise and existing Web browser and a PageManager embedded in each page. A PageManager comprises two parts, namely, a PageController and a PageCommunicator.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Technical Field[0002]The present invention relates to a method and a system for sharing a browser, particularly to a method and a system for implementing high-performance and real-time sharing of a browser for an existing Web browser and an existing Web page without having to install it by a user by embedding in the page itself a facility for controlling each element in the page.[0003]2. Prior Art[0004]Various methods are known for sharing a standard Web page in an as-is format by using an existing Web browser. (For example, see Japanese Patent Application No. Hei 9-254997). In such background art, however, it is necessary for every user to have a sharing system installed in advance. In Japanese Patent Application No. Hei 9-254997, synchronization of browser status is implemented by data exchange for sharing through the two interfaces, namely, an application interface (specifically, the functions of an information event of page loading, an inquiry...
